Second Black Arrow, Aeglos, Anguirel and Anglachel.
Is Girdle of Melian an item? I am not quite sure...

It is an oddity though so I feel it could/should count.

I nominate
Morgul Blades, Barrow-Downs blades and Grond II I second Aranruth, Grond I and Glamdring I feel Rings are out of place here, somehow. There are so SPECIAL.... , they deserve a special game along with Silmarils, Palantiri and such like.

 But well, it all seems to come down now whether this will be a round for "weapons" or for "weapons and other oddities"? If it's the latter, we need to come up with a substantial number of other candidates than weapons. Although I think that the One Ring being there would not be fair to other candidates...

Maybe this one should be weapons and armour, and later we could have another one such as powerful objects, e.g. Silmarils, rings, etc. If we don't have the other one then I nominate: Tom Bombadil's boots

I don't see a reason to limit the number of seconds, Lalaith. I trust people can control themselves enough not to misuse the voting power they've been given.
Given the number of weapons we have thus far, I think we could do with just weapons & armour on this round. Therefore I'm excluding stuff like the Girdle of Melian, Bombadil's boots (which, in my opinion, are rather other items than armour), the rings etc from the list. However if you think some of them should be included, speak up. As for Tuor's dragon suggestions, I rather didn't take them because they are very different weapons from the rest. If there is considerable opposition to this, though, I may consider otherwise. I second Belthronding & the Morgul blades and nominate Ringil & Angrist. Oh by the way - do we want Anglachel, Gurthang or both? Seconded weapons:
